The Workshop Committee organizes workshops for our members that cover a variety of interests and a range of quilting abilities. We encourage members to provide us with ideas and we will try to determine interest levels and organize workshops for you. Some topics may be presented as skill building practices – or ‘mini-workshops’ held on one of our regular sew days. These generally have no fees required and are drop-in opportunities. Other workshops require more time and a separate day will then be booked – These types workshops do require fees – to cover expense of hall booking and any Instructor fees as required.
Information about any upcoming Workshops will be posted below …… and advertised at General Meetings and newsletters – and occasionally via email and posted on the guild notice board. Workshops are held at the Guild Hall – but times will be specific for any given workshop as this depends on availability of hall booking – we do ‘share’ this building with many other community groups.

Payment for workshops will be required at the time of registration.
Our workshops are offered on a non-profit basis. If registration in a workshop is insufficient to cover the costs, the workshop may be cancelled. A full refund will be issued if the workshop is cancelled.
Supply lists will be available as soon as the class has been confirmed and the instructor has supplied the list to the workshop committee.

If you are not enrolled in a workshop, please do not visit and disturb the workshop unless it has been specified that visitors are welcome and what time visitors may arrive.

Workshop Registration Form
Policies
We will advertise workshops at monthly guild meetings and in newsletters. If the class is not filled with guild members two months after registration is opened, we will contact other guilds to see if there is any interest from their members. Proof of guild membership will be required of all individuals registering for workshops. We will only accept registrants who are not guild members if the class has not been filled one month before the workshop. The workshop fee will be the same amount for all registrants.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
Cancellation Policy – Revised 2023 Sept. 01
- We encourage early registration for an upcoming class, so that we can plan accordingly. However, we also understand that circumstances change and that sometimes a person may have to cancel their registrations.
- A workshop may have to be cancelled due to insufficient registration. Timing of such a cancellation will have to consider the contract with Instructor as well as contract with Hall rental agreement. Full refunds of registration fees will be issued if a workshop is cancelled by the Workshop Committee.
- Should a person who has registered need to cancel their registration, they should notify a member of the Workshop Committee as soon as possible.
- 14 days notice of cancellation - full refund will be issued.
- 7 days notice of cancellation - 50 % refund will be issued.
- If less than 7 days notice is given, then no refund will be provided.
